The Antartes

Hi Devidration, I thought this was a pretty solid entry for the game jam! I found this from the Indie Tales discord btw!

Positives:

As a pixel artist who's learning to improve, I learned a lot from this game. The colours, the brushwork and the effects - 11/10!

The music and sfx are cool as well but they were a little loud (options didn't change the bullet sfx btw). I also like the idea of a changing weapon system.

Suggestions:

I think this game has potential to be fleshed out. For eg, you can combine the changing weapon system to a deck builder style game or even just a classic upgrade buller-hell style game.

Adding in a little bit of lore and bosses would be welcome. I think the homing rockets could be a bit faster but otherwise, this was a solid game. Am really interested to see what you will do with this in the future. Awesome job!

I like the overall vibes of the game, it gave me medieval industrial revolution vibes. the song fits very well too. the animations are smooth af. I really liked the little details they put in the animations. the movement is also very nice like it feels natural and comfy. ah yeah, the art is marvelous as well I really like the art style, the detail they put even though it's pixel art is fascinating. I hope I can give the coding a little more credit too but it is not really my league and I don't understand much about it. but I must say it is very great, it feels like I'm playing a paid game.
